Have A Seat Card with Barn Wood Technique

Hi friends. Why don't you have a seat and look around awhile? I love love love this stamp set and am so sad that it is retiring. The "Stay" stamp is from the Tea Shoppe set which is carried over from the last mini and I used my markers to color that. I love that set too but will keep this set that I just adore. I saw this barn wood technique somewhere and I think it was in the Paper Craft Magazine. I have been using up the watercolor paper because it is changing in the new catalog. It is supposed to have a different texture. I used my Watercolor Pencils and Water Wonder Crayons to color here without water. I wanted to use pinks to compliment the Early Espresso bench. Stay? Yes that is what I want that stamp set to do. Darn it anyway. I thought it was so appropriate with this saying also. Maybe my mind is a little warped like barn wood??? LOL! The shape of the Confetti Cream is from the Top Note Die putting it through the Big Shot once and then turning it once and lining up the points  and put it through again.  I love the shape it comes out with. I sponged it the same as my card stock base which was Blushing Bride. The confetti Cream is discontinuing also. I have a ton of that so you will be seeing it in the future even though you can substitute with Confetti Naturals Card Stock.

Here are the details: 
Stamp Sets: Have A Seat, Tea Shoppe
Card Stock: Blushing Bride, Watercolor Paper,  Confetti Cream
Inks: Early Espresso Ink Pad and Marker, Blushing Bride Ink Pad and Marker, Regal Rose, Melon Mambo, Watercolor Pencils, Water Color Wonder Crayons in Brights
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note Die, 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon in Vanilla, Sponge. 

Now I really need to get in the shower. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you stayed a while and left me a comment. Have a honey of a day and remember to create something cute. Hugs, Bev

Thank you Tea Shoppe Card

Happy Hump day to all of you. How is your week is going so far? I am busy working on my party for this weekend and my down line meeting swap. Busy Busy. But I wanted to show you this oh so purdy card. I love the Tea Shoppe set and we made this card at my party last week. There is a glare on the cup but you can see how it shines that way like real porcelain. Oooooh Purdy. LOL! I did an emboss resist on the tea cup and it really is so pretty with pansies on it. That technique is where you emboss it and then rub ink over it and it goes into the design that didn't get embossing powder. Then wipe it off.  I love this stamp set and the Doily die from the Occasions mini don't you? If you don't just click on my Shop 24/7 button and order it. 
I think I am going to use that set in my swap for my meeting too. I just love it.

Here are the details:

Stamp Sets: Tea Shoppe, Wood Grain Background
Card Stock: Perfect Plum, Whisper White, Crumb Cake
Inks: Perfect Plum Ink Pad and Marker, Lucky Limeade Ink Pad and Marker, Crumb Cake, Versa Mark Pad

Do you like the table and tablecloth that is the doily die? I sure do. I think my card turned out so purdy and everyone liked it. 
 Thank you so much for stopping by today. God Bless, Bev

Tea Shoppe Thanks

Hello stampers, TGIF!  Yay, I am off work today and need to start on my swap cards for the Stampin' UP! Leadership meeting I am attending in San Antonio next week. Yes, I will have my laptop with so I can post what is going on there. It is going to be so much fun! I can't wait especially as the cold has finally come to us here in the northwoods in Minnesota. It is supposed to be really cold next week so I am glad I will be in Texas!

Anyway, I thought I would show you this easel card I made for a swap card for the stamp set Tea Shoppe in the new mini for Cindy Umbach's swap for this set. 

I love this set and this card turned out sooooo stinkin' cute I think. You can tell me what you think of it.
